PermGen Out Of Memory

[Somnath Mallick]

Hi Everyone,

I have Eclipse Galileo, and when i build or try to publish a project I keep getting Perm Gen out of memory exception and my Workspace just prompts for shutting down. I have increased the PermGen size to 2048m and still i get the error. Any help would be appreciated!

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
2048m
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m
-Xmx600m
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

I dont know what else information to provide. If there is something missing please let me know, I would be able to provide it.

You set the max perm size for the launcher, which is not that same as for Eclipse itself. Try, after the "-vmargs" line, adding "-XX:MaxPermSize=512MB"

Also, after you launche Eclipse, verify that the MaxPermSize for the javaw process is set to the value you indicated. If you don't know how to do that, tell me what OS you are using and I can provide details.

Ok. I would try adding the line and see. I am on Windows XP. After i posted here... i am getting the error even when i do a clean and build!
